The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

What a fantastic French wine from Domaine de La Baume! This distinctive cuvée, made from the finest quality grapes from very old vines, embodies the estate's innovation and ambition. The Marselan grape gives this wine a unique complexity and richness. Modern vinification techniques, including cold maceration and fermentation in wooden barrels, followed by twelve months of aging in French oak, give this wine its distinctive character and depth.

Domaine de La Baume is a renowned winery located in the beautiful Languedoc region of southern France. Since its acquisition by Jean Prat in 1882, this winery has built an impressive reputation as a producer of high-quality wines that embody the essence of the region's unique terroir. The Domaine de La Baume estate stretches between the picturesque towns of Béziers and Pézenas, where the vineyards benefit from a favorable climate and fertile soil. This creates ideal conditions for the growth of the grape varieties characteristic of the region. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Marselan grapes bask in the warmth of the sun, allowing them to ripen perfectly. When the grapes reach peak ripeness, they are carefully harvested and taken directly to the winery. This is followed by a rigorous selection and gentle pressing. Finally, the grapes are aged for an impressive 12 months in oak barrels.

The Elite d'Or Cabernet Sauvignon Marselan boasts delightful aromas of berries, blackberries, bay leaf, coffee, and chocolate. The palate of the Elite d'Or Cabernet Sauvignon Marselan is powerful and robust, with a rich blend of spicy and fruity notes. Sultry fruit notes such as blackberries and ripe berries dominate, complemented by nuances of coffee and cocoa. The wine is full-bodied and smooth on the palate, with beautifully integrated tannins and soft acidity that contribute to a balanced structure. This wine is a perfect accompaniment to grilled meat dishes.
